I, for one, am excited over the next installment of Rock Band. Harmonix did a wonderful job the first time around, so I'm really jumping out of my seat every time I hear something else about it. I'm about to talk about a bunch of rumors I've been hearing around the internets lately, so please just remember that these are rumors, nothing is confirmed.             Here are the basics:You'll be able to play the World Tour with your friends via XBL (finally). There are 80+ songs total. Read More...

Rumor: Rock Band Track List So, I thought I would go a day without talking about Rock Band again, but it would seem that it is part of the current buzz on the net. It was just announced and they are slowly trickling information to the pubic about the game. So, I'll go on record now, I'm no RB Fanboy, it's just what comes across my plate right now. I'll hook up GH as soon as I get some good information for it. Anyways. Read More...

Top Gun Theme Free on Guitar Hero III So for you patriotic people, or at least those that like to feel it, here is a new song for GHIII. Not really an anthem of the country, but at least it is one for a movie that has the strong feeling of America. That is the "Anthem" for Top Gun. Who doesn't get that un chill down their back when hearing that? Read More...

Most likely October or November for the other platforms. Read More...

The First Shot of the Drum Kit that will be used in GH 4 So Activision did what I knew they would. Try to copy it's best competitor to try and cash in on a market that they didn't get in on from the start. Yes, the pic above is of a new drum kit to be used in Guitar Hero 4. If you didn't hear already, the next Guitar Hero will have vocals and drums added into the mix. And this is the pick of the drum kit that will most likely be used in the game.

Rock Band DLC For 4/29/08 Not too huge of a thing going on as far as the DLC for Rock Band this week. Not too keen on the two Mother Hips songs that are coming out. They just don't sound like they will really be all that fun to play. Maybe it is just me, but meh. So kind of a slow one. But then there is one that I will most likely be getting this week. One of my favorite Smashing Pumpkin songs will be out this week too. Still waiting on some good Slipknot or Rammstein to make it on the lists for this game, or maybe even Free Bird as well.

Judas Priest Rock Band DLC Ok, so maybe it's just me, but I am stoked about this for two reasons. First, it's Judas Priest on Rock Band. How awesome will this be? Anyone? Or is it really just me? I know it isn't one of the harder core or more mainstream that people may be wanting, but it is something awesome. The second. This will be their first foray into releasing full albums on the game.

Rocking DLC Release For This Week Ok, so not too big of news, but here's some more stuff for download this week for Rock Band. This is mainly for the XBox, until the PSN is back up on Thursday. Then you get these and also the ones listed here and here. Wish there was more to talk about, but not much more than the releases of this. Well other than the little blurb and bustle going around about the insane price of the European price of the game. I fell bad for the PR guys at Harmonix just for the fact that they have to defend why they are saying that it is needed to be ass expensive. Read More...
